What holds a nucleus together?
The strong nuclear force. At extremely short range, it is stronger than electrostatic repulsion, and allows protons to stick together in a nucleus even though their charges repel each other. Remember that the size of the nucleus is really small compared to the size of an atom.
What makes a stable nucleus?
A stable nucleus must have the right combination of protons and neutrons. Occurs if there are too many neutrons. A neutron to proton conversion occurs. This releases an electron or beta particle.
Does Protium have Neutron?
Protium is an isotope of hydrogen that is composed of one proton and one electron. It is the most abundant form of hydrogen. The abundance of this isotope in the earth’s crust is about 99.9%. Protium has no neutrons in its nucleus.
What does Protium symbolize?
symbol H
Why is Protium most common?
Protium. H is the most common hydrogen isotope with an abundance of more than 99.98%. The nucleus of this isotope consists of only a single proton (atomic number = mass number = 1) and its mass is 1.007825 amu. Hydrogen atoms are so reactive that they combine with almost all elements.
What is Protium used to treat?
Protium is a selective “proton pump inhibitor”, a medicine which reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is used for treating acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine.
What is the side effect of pantoprazole 40 mg?
Some side effects may be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately, or get emergency medical help: blistering or peeling skin. rash hives; itching; swelling of the eyes, face, lips, mouth, throat, or tongue; difficulty breathing or swallowing; or hoarseness.
How do you take Protium?
If prescribed more than two tablets a day, the tablets should be taken twice daily. If your doctor prescribes a daily dose of more than four tablets a day, you will be told exactly when to stop taking the medicine. If you have kidney problems, you should not take Protium for eradication of Helicobacter pylori.
What is deuterium used for?
Uses of deuterium: It is widely used in prototype fusion reactors and has their application in military, industrial and scientific fields. In nuclear fusion reactors, it is used as a tracer and it is responsible to slow down neutrons in heavy water moderated fission reactors.
What foods are high in deuterium?
plants deplete deuterium by shifting it to their sugar storage, therefore fruits, grains, as well as sweet and starchy root vegetables are high in deuterium. Replace snacks that are grain and sugar based with nuts and nut derived products.
Is deuterium harmful?
It is more toxic to malignant cells than normal cells but the concentrations needed are too high for regular use. As may occur in chemotherapy, deuterium-poisoned mammals die of a failure of bone marrow (producing bleeding and infections) and of intestinal-barrier functions (producing diarrhea and loss of fluids).
Where was the heavy water plant in Norway?
Vemork
Why do you need heavy water to make an atomic bomb?
In a heavy-water nuclear reactor, when neutrons bombard U-238, some uranium atoms absorb an additional neutron and are transformed into Pu-239. Heavy water provides a path to turn common uranium into plutonium, one of the easily split or “fissile” materials that fuels nuclear bombs.
Is Heroes of Telemark true?
The Heroes of Telemark is a 1965 British war film directed by Anthony Mann based on the true story of the Norwegian heavy water sabotage during the Second World War from Skis Against the Atom, the memoirs of Norwegian resistance soldier Knut Haukelid.
